WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

• We make a house a home - We invest heavily in ensuring homes are beautifully decorated and looked after, so children can express their characters, feel safe, and enrich their lives.
• Generous budgets devoted to children – Each of our homes are given substantial investment to allow for all children to really experience a childhood. This includes holidays abroad, recreational activities, and special events.
• Direct therapeutic work with children – We aim to provide all children with therapy, driven by industry leading psychologists and practise. This will include therapeutic training for all staff.
• Bespoke systems – You’ll spend more time working directly with children rather than duplicating reports and paperwork with our bespoke, time saving incident reporting system.
• Detailed and supportive training – We give you a ‘Skills to Care’ induction. All new starters complete 2 separate weeks of classroom-based training as well as a week of shadow shifts to best prepare you for your new role.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Want to work in a children’s home that makes a positive, lasting difference to children’s lives? Are you an experienced Residential Worker or Youth Worker? Or maybe you have no experience but are looking to build a career in residential care. Whatever your path, we need determined, resilient people to be long lasting, significant adults in a child’s life.
Compass Homes are built around accepting a child as they are in a non-judgemental way. You will teach them to build self-esteem and accept themselves, helping their journey into adulthood.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AS A NIGHT TIME RESIDENTIAL WORKER WILL INCLUDE:

• Using your experience and skills (further developed with our support and training), you will assist with the care of our children and young people.
• All our homes adopt therapeutic practise, giving you the opportunity to develop into a specialist care provider. Training also includes reflective practise to consistently improve the way we care for children.
• You will create positive relationships with the children, meeting their needs and always safeguarding them.
• You will meet a variety of children and young people, some of whom may require high levels of supervision and support.
